Offaly Libraries together with Laois Libraries are delighted to co-deliver a series of online talks and in-person workshops for parents at various stages throughout the year. Supported by Laois Offaly Children and Young People’s Services Committees ( CYPSC ), the Parenting Support Programme invites experts to discuss a broad range of parenting topics currently impacting our children.
The aim of the programme is to to give parents simple and practical strategies to help them build healthy relationships with their children and confidently manage issues as they arise.
The programme will return in September 2023 and will be open to everyone including parents, caregivers, healthcare professionals, teachers, special needs assistants and those working with children and young people.
